At its production process\, a lot of valuable resources are being wasted\, while sometimes polluting the environment. UCY México\, with support from Colubris Cleantech B.V. has the vision of recovering\, and to put into reuse\, as much by-products as possible from vinasses\, the wastewater from Tequila production. For an efficient and integral solution\, there are different areas to look for improvement in the current way of producing Tequila\, while also looking at risk analysis\, business plan and ecological impact. \nCase 2: Strategies for sustainable water use of Avocados farming\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case owner: Water Footprint Implementation \nThe global avocado market is expanding rapidly and Mexico is one of the prime exporters. Mexico’s avocado industry has flourished in recent years\, with the fruit becoming a global sensation. However\, this success comes at a significant cost: avocado farming demands substantial water resources\, especially in regions like Michoacán\, Mexico’s primary avocado-producing state. How can Michoacán develop innovative solutions that mitigate the water scarcity issue while sustaining local economies\, taking into consideration the avocado farming? \n[vc_empty_space image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case 3: Solutions for a small city with a world’s heritage site\n\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case owner: Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier \nThe city center of Tlaxcala has more than two hundred buildings considered as monuments. Some of them have reached the status of World’s heritage by Unesco. To preserve them\, there have been many improvements in the infrastructure of the city. However\, due to climate change\, heavy rains are more frequent\, and at some moments the drainage systems are not enough to deal with the amount of rain. What actions can be made to improve the sanitation systems\, and protect buildings\, houses and natural environment in the city and surroundings? \nCase 4: Water management around Mexico City’s new Airport\n[vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”]Case owner: Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier \nThe municipality of Zumpango in the metropolitan region of Mexico City is a located in a naturally closed basin\, where Zumpango lake is surrounded by urban areas. The municipality itself has more than one million inhabitants. The zone faces water problems of floodings in rainy seasons\, pollution\, smells and growing water scarcity in the dry season. A new airport has recently started its operations\, which in the future could increase the urbanization of the region. How can a water management program help improve the current and future situation\, for inhabitants and agriculture? \nEvent Partners\n[vc_single_image image=”50762″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”55086″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”51922″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”53908″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”52334″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”16px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_single_image image=”53101″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”54326″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””][vc_single_image image=”57060″ img_size=”220×125″ style=”vc_box_rounded” qode_css_animation=””]
